D&D 3.x gamers who skipped 4e, why are you not "upgrading" to Pathfinder?

[QUOTE="Kris, post: 5266466, member: 3745"] Well ...I got back into RPG's when 3.0 came out ...which also coincided with a time when I had a lot of spare cash - so I ended up with a shelf full of 3.0 stuff ...a lot of good stuff ...and also some not so good stuff :). So I really have a ton of stuff there (in near mint condition) that I've hardly used ...and I also quite like the system. I will admit that the only reason I 'upgraded' to 3.5 (as a player ...I only have the two PHB's and the DMG (for the magic items & PrC sections) ) is because that is the game I've been playing as a 'player' for a while now - otherwise I would have happily stuck with 3.0. But if it looked like I had the option of playing in a pathfinder (or maybe even a 4E) game in the future, I would probably pick up the PHB equivalent ...but that is all. But in all truth, if I had the choice to play/run a different system to 3.x then I would prefer to play something other than D&D (including pathfinder) ...which is probably why the only two RPG books I have purchased in the last few years have been the Savage Worlds book and the BRP book. So basically, I might eventually get the Pathfinder Core Rulebook - but I'll need a reason for doing so - other than it being the 'latest' version (if that makes any sense at all). The same goes for other games/editions - as I'd be just as likely to pick up an old 2E book off ebay if I needed it for a particular game (i.e. I'm not gonna run out and get it now, but I might grab a copy if someone was thinking of running a campaign).
